E-Commerce in Canada

Canadian consumers have made shopping online an established behavior—80% did it last year—and many online retailers are interested in selling to them.

That’s because they see opportunity. The product selection and retailer options Canadians ?nd online with merchants based in Canada trail their expectations, and that leads many to look at international shopping options. 67% of Canadian online shoppers purchased from a foreign e-retailer last year, according to PayPal Inc., making Canada the seventh-highest nation for cross-border online shopping among 29 surveyed.
